​a few weeks back I had quite a few people asking my opinion about making big investments in bitcoin

I said then, contrary to most -- and I am not, and have never been, a bitcoin fan, as I always felt it was "designed" to go up and then come "crashing" down . . . that I expected it to reverse course and I would be "VERY hesitant" to jump in as I think bitcoin now is famous for being famous

at the time it was trading at over $19,000; this was just 3-4 weeks ago; right now it is trading at around $12,000 . . . those people who were "convinced" to take out second mortgages to go all in are likely now on 24 hour suicide watch and I am not being flippant in saying this

this may reverse -- but big losses like this are likely to scare those who have invested when they needed to win and couldn't "afford to lose"​let them eat coin
